Guest hawley Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 hey guys just bought a 1982 mazda 323 for dirt cheap, had a wof for a week or two and i was just going to get a new wof and chuck on some more rego and flick it off for some extra $$$ anyway took it down for a warrant on friday, one of the things it failed on was having no horn since the last owner decided to take the steering wheel apart. so today i fixed it up and re wired the horn in the steering wheel, but now when i connect the steering wheel the horn stays on constantly. im planning on just wiring a switch into the dash for the horn, but i just need to know which wire running to the steering wheel is for the horn. if anyone does know could you let me know, or suggest easy ways to suss out which wire it is, because ive narrowed it down to 4 wires on one of the looms into the wheel. chur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 if your horns in the steering wheels it works when u push it down it earths the horn in turn making it "beep" so check the horn button for it constantly earthing ive got heaps spare if u need one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hawley Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 yea i get that, the wire in the steering wheel had been cut so i re wired that, but it seems like the horn must be constantly earthing itself. since the steering wheel was in pieces when i got the car i dont know how many parts are missing from inside it, which is why i was going to let it constantly earth, but wire in a switch for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 when you re wired it, you didnt leave any exposed wires, or use unsheiled terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hawley Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 na i soldered then heatshrink, so its not the wire thats connecting and earthing the horn like is said i found two of the parts for the steering wheel under one of the seats so its quite likely some of the parts are missing especially considering the other owner had run the window washer hoses into the front guards, like a diesel squirter, but the front wheels, and never used diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
